Based on this paragraph, which of the following scenarios would utilize rescue boats? Evacuation boats are involved in floods and high-water scenarios, when a large number of people must be evacuated from locations in which they are trapped by rising water. Rescue boats also help in high-water evacuations to remove individuals who are stranded. Some apparatuses are small boats, but others are fully equipped personal watercraft that can carry necessary tools and victims back to safety.
Answer
A
a boat that stalled in a bay
B
a businessman trapped on the roof of a burning building
C
a hiker that fell in a ravine
D
a child in a ditch that got caught in a runoff current
Explanation
Rescue boats are used in high-water situations to help people stranded by rising or flowing water. A child caught in a runoff current is in that kind of water-related danger, so a rescue boat could help. The other scenarios do not involve someone trapped by high water.
